[Deleted one portion that appears not to be germane.] I wonder where Ryan is now? No posting since he enlisted in the US Army Rangers Marine Corps. I guess that Ft Paris Benning Island is some tough shit.

I left the seedier admissions of hers out from here, thinking more of the errors of Brashear than of her. She is the one that opened the can of worms on herself. As she has said- she has a 15 year old child. She had an affair with an 18 year old boy,(she said he wasn’t matured yet), h’mmmm. I am hearing Jerry Lee Lewis singing “Middle Aged Crazy” here.
About some photos of her n Brashears, she offered:
“my husband and i were separated and we are back together and we dont need reminders plz”

WOW, Never mind about the sf-180 .. I just took a glance at this ass-clowns F/B profile. A stint in Behavioral Health is what he needs. Talk about an imagination. Ryan Brashears

I’m all for mentoring and helping people, but I can’t be convinced that Brashears knew what he was doing was wrong in the past. It all comes down to being held accountable for one’s actions. If Brashears is behind bars, maybe he’ll learn a tough (but necessary) lesson there. Experience is an unforgiving teacher, and no matter how much “help or advice” he gets by people who want to help him and see him change, it’s ultimately HIS choice to step in the right direction.

@70 – During my recruiting stint 6 years ago, I were taught the TIER system of prospective applicants.

In a nut shell, TEIR I were your H/S graduates (or higher), who had little or no criminal background, and were mostly preferred for enlistment for obvious reasons. TEIR II applicants were the ones that usually required a waiver of some sort, and had to be approved at the RS C.O. level, but had to have (if I recall correctly) a H/S diploma at a minimum. TEIR III applicants were the bottom rung applicants, rather, those who had a GED or had at least finished 12th grade (drop outs counted, but there was lots of paperwork involved, so I was told), required a waiver for education requirements (or illegal activity), etc ad infinitum. TEIR III folks were not the center of focus, and usually those recruiters who struggled would drop TEIR III papers just to make the monthly quota – with hopes the applicant wouldn’t “attrit” by washing out of recruit training. Perhaps the standards have changed by now, but that was my experience.

And no, I never dropped a TEIR III applicant to make my numbers for the month, EVER.

USMCE8Ret@71, when I was first recruiting, I had a walk in with about four different things that would require waivers, to include criminal activity, dependants, non-high school grad, etc…. I was under pressure for that first contract, so despite my better judgment, I gave him that mini-ASVAB test (the one with Mick Jagger), which scored about 25 points. Showed I him the door. As he was walking out, he said the standard “I made mistakes, trying to change my life, blah, blah, blah…..” A week later, I saw his photo on the front page of the Daily Planet. Him and some other numb nuts broke out of the county jail. After pulling off the great escape, instead of blowing town, they got drunk and passed out on some ladies lawn. BTW, at the end of the interview is when I discovered that the highest education he reached was fifth grade.

@77 – Yeah, those walk in’s are the ones that haunt the loudest, which is precisely why we steered away from them. The younger, eager and less experienced recruiters (the ones who thought they could save the world, but sometimes compromised their recruiting ethics) usually got burned when they found our their applicant washed out of MCRD the first or second week – and had to make up their numbers the following quarter.

Better to roll a donut than to have some kid not ship because he got sand in his vagina. Dumbass kids popping on a piss test morning they ship, then, if a waiver is granted, they lose that hi-speed/low-drag MOS because now they can’t get a clearance. All you hear is how the recruiter f’ed him, not about his dirty urine, the minor in possession, and not actually graduating high school. You put some kid with a waiver in, and he’ll probably end up causing an international incident. Most of the fuck-ups in Okinawa were end of the month/gotta make mission contracts. Then your buddy in the fleet has to put up with your trash. it’s not worth it.

hoe dare any of you dirty pigs label me or talk about my family! you all should be ashamed of yourselves! that is slander to insinuate ive had an affair!!!!! i was abused by ryan and i did not have sex with Mr. brashears and how dare any of you say i did!!! you are all women hating dirty old men who cant get a women of their own to have sex with so u have to talk about other peoples sex lives or in this case non existing sex lives!!!!!!!!! leave me the hell alone and get a life yer dirty old pigs! dont you ever talk about my children or husband agian!!!!! I was trying to help him out unlike u bullies who love to insult everyone! all youve done is insult me and call me names. its clear you cant handle a women telling you where to go…wich you can all go to hell. you can call me stupid or retarted all you want. im too pretty to have to work anyway. lol….you guys bash women because u cant get one right?? well call me what u want but dont u ever talk about my family. my husband and i are none of your god damn business and ya we were separated and ryan and i were never in a relationship you assholes!!! dont speak on something u know nothing about! go read the poilice report i was stalked and kidnapped and beaten for two damn days!! so maybe you all should do a little more research and alot less hating and gossiping

@81 Apparently your reading comprehension is as good as your spelling. Did you miss the fact that not all of us are “old men?” Some of us are (gasp) women. And just for the record, I post on here all the time, and am quite vocal about my opinions. The guys on here take it all in stride. No one is threatened because you are a women.. Glad to see you changed from being a “victim” to being “extremely disgusted.”

whatever you all misspell words too! all of you are just a bunch of cyber bullies! just for the record ryan did not kidnap me i went with him because i wanted too and he and i are married so have a field day with that one. that otta keep u all busy for a while. we all know you “intellegent” hillbillies will have so much to say about that one. so there you go, begin your harrassment. i can take it and if you cant tell i actually enjoy this banter with you hillbillies;) i love ryan leigh brashears thats right i love him!

Sock puppet alert on comments 81 and 85. Judging by the comments and grammar initially posted by “victim”, I assumed that she was maybe 19 or 20 years old. If indeed victim/extremely disgusted is the woman that he assaulted and had an affair with (I suspect that it is just a poser), it doesn’t leave a positive impression on her intelligence, let alone her moral compass.

extremely disgusted: to answer your question above – at 18 and 19 I was indeed a young guy looking to get laid. But I wasn’t interested in ladies literally old enough to be my mom who had kids old enough to be my brother.

THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT PHOTOS!!! I genuinely feel sorry for these folks. This whole thread reads like a Payton place novel but on a shoestring budget. Wonder if he ever gave her a gift ‘Coupon’ for a free back rub, leg massage or other nefarious activity.

As far as coming onto a veteran centered blog and making a statement that we never served, be ready to take a shot to the pie hole no matter your age or sex. Comments such as this only feeds the fire and drives some of us to switch from lurking to commenting against anything that state from that point onward.

#81. As for me:
-Am I a “dirty pig”-nope (enjoy a nice dip in the backyard hot tub and/or pool 4 or 5 times a week and daily shower)
-Am I a “women hating dirty old man who can’t get a women of their own to have sex with”-nope (I have a HOT 50yr old bride that chimes the bells on a regular basis)
-I could care less if you had an affair
-I can handle a women telling me where to go (wife does so on a regular basis (part of the reason we have been married for 33 yrs))
-I need to see photographic proof of your statement of being “too pretty to have to work” to judge(trust but verify)
-I don’t bash women because I can’t get one but might make a comment or three on the ones that appear to be batshit crazy
-Usually use correct grammar, spelling and sentence structure when I post vice throwing some BS on the wall and seeing if it sticks

How did you know I was a hillbilly? If you love the individual that was the original subject of this post, your standards are pretty low and even if your photographic proof of hotness is presented, you lost major points with those of us that consider honor above all. As a previous poster commented, I also question your morals and recommend you take a look at where you’re headed with your life. You have a chance to not only positively effect your life, but your off-spring if you square your shit away NOW.

Two thumbs up. From 18 to the early 20s I was interested in 18 and 19 yr old young ladies. In my 50s, I’d be more interested in their moms and some of their grandmothers if I didn’t have a honey at home.

Great catch Nik. I thought I was reading something that didn’t make since and you researched and confirmed. I had to paste the entire comment stream in a Word document to bust out the sections that countered others.

We’re so sorry we’ve allowed you to get violated by “extremely disgusted” and “victim” in the above postings. And please tell punctuation, capitalization and spell check that we are sorry for the injury that has been inflicted on them.

Maybe as a prerequisite, you need to take that mini-ASVAB test to assess whether you possess the minimum mental ability to make somewhat intelligent posts to this site. I am talking the twenty minute one, not the full-blown honest to God three hour test. Anyone besides me recall that test? That mini-ASVAB was way old when I enlisted in 1981, and was still being used when I was on Recruiting Duty back in 1988. The reading comprehension portion started out “Mick Jagger is a man used to having doors opened for him…..” I guess that they figured if they threw in a reference to a rock and roller, the kids would “dig it”. I would give the same test to the same kids, and after four or five times, they still only scored in the low 20’s.
